A proper British roadster with cut-down doors that one could dangle his arm over and get fingers run over by the rear tire. I learned this lesson as a youth in my brother's Triumph TR3.

Drop-dead gorgeous, these roadsters.

Are you speaking from experience ? I remember the first AND ONLY time i was dragging my foot o/s of a 77 Vette pulling it into the shop and almost left my foot under the driver's rear tire !

Looks more like a perfume commercial than a car ad. And in true "post-truth" 21st century projection fakery "copy nothing" is definitely a copy of--well, something. Hope that they have some plastic laid out when they "break the mould" because I imagine that the excrement will run everywhere. Pretty sure that sledge hammer was styrofoam anyway. Best of luck with a re-brand of a car that was often bought through a sense of nostalgia attempting to sell to an audience stuck in a video.

I was seriously appalled a few years ago when I saw footage from one of the royal weddings, can't remember which of the inbred ones it was but they made a big deal of driving away from some palace or in other they frequented/inhabited in an E type jag that had been converted into an electric car. Showing the world how environmentally aware and supportive they were. I just thought, what total wankers. It's one thing to be all that stuff and another the totally shit on your countries automotive history.

Virtue signaling is more important than reality for many. I've heard that in the UK critical comments on social media can get one in trouble. Not just "hate speech" from the reprehensible morons that spew it, but also one of the oldest English traditions: sarcastic humor! Oh well, sunshine and lollipops; we all end up loving Big Brother in the end. Enough of my silly rant.

Do you know how it ended?

 

He was writing his suicide note.  The next morning his coworkers found his body hanging in his office.  But yeah.  It was.  

Great show BTW.  One of the best.  Mad Men, Deadwood, Curb.....plenty of good shows in the '00's.
